It's starting to sink in

It's still hard to believe what is happening but I'm slowly coming to grips with it. I go to the VA in Oklahoma City on June 7th for some pre-op work. I have no idea when the surgery will be but I'm assuming at least another week or two after that. So it will probably be the end of June or maybe even July before I get this done. This is one thing I hate about VA is the fact that everything moves so slow. But it's the gov't running it so it's a model for inefficiency.

It's one thing to wait on an elective surgery, or even a surgery for something important but still not life threatening, but it's absolutely nerve racking waiting on cancer surgery knowing that every day that goes by lessens my chance for survival. But I guess I should be thankful for having VA. It's just frustrating to see people who want gov't run health care without realizing that there HAS to be a better way. Why do you think the Canadians who can afford it come here instead of using their gov't run health care. Do you really want the same morons who run the DMV running health care?
